Abstract Parallel asynchronous iterative algorithms relax synchronization and communication requirements, and can potentially extend Desktop Grids beyond embarrassingly parallel ap...
While desktop grids are attractive platforms for executing parallel applications, their volatile nature has often limited their use to so-called “high-throughput” applications...
Many numerical solutions of large scale simulation models require finer discretizations in some regions of the computational grid. When this region is not known in advance, adapti...
This paper describes issues encountered in the design and implementation of a parallel object-oriented database system. In particular, we find that the design of a client/server ...
The concept of design patterns has recently emerged as a new paradigm in the context of object-oriented design methodology. Similar ideas are being explored in other areas of compu...
